For the biggest shopping destination in Laredo, the first impression entering the parking lot was not a good one. When we last visited, the grass was overgrown, flower beds were lacking flowers, palm trees were dead, trash littered the parking lot and one end of the mall seemed abandoned.

There weren't many shoppers, but for mid week and all that's going on, it's understandable. You can still find department stores such as Dillard's, Macy's and JCPenney. There's a variety of smaller shops for clothing, shoes, jewelry, and a book store. The food court has a variety of options from gorditas and tacos to sushi and pizza. There are several chain restaurants facing the freeway outside the mall, including Olive Garden, Logan's Roadhouse and a new Longhorn Steakhouse.

Sadly, a number of stores have closed or moved out of the mall to different sites around town. The addition of Main Event and the reopening of the movie theater are good options for entertainment. There's also a Chuck-e-cheese for the kids along with a Children's museum.
